No Embiid for Philly. Nance with a nice reverse alley-oop finish to end the 1st term, Blazers up 5. No one that Curry can matchup on in this Portland lineup, Blazers up 9 at the half. Though the Blazers never really look for easy baskets, no matter how they're being defended. Philly held at bay throughout in this one, though their players, coaching staff and commentators all annoyed by the refereeing. Lillard with his best scoring night of the season, living at the free-throw line. Philly shot slightly better from the field, the Blazers better from 3 at 44%. Both teams took care of the ball and excellent from the line, Blazers +6 on the boards. Lillard with an efficient 39 points, 7 assists, 3 blocks, but 4 turnovers and 0 boards. Nurkic 5 of 6 from the field, with 11 boards, 2 steals. McCollum 18 points, Powell 17. Maxey best for the Sixers, with an efficient 28 points, 9 assists, 2 steals, no turnovers. Harris 28 points as well.
3. (Por) D. Lillard, 2. (Phi) T. Maxey, 1. (Por) J. Nurkic.
